xml issue Premiere to FCP7

[Tim Kolb]

Did you check to see if you have a text file that has any conversion errors? Did you compare the sequence settings?

What type of media do you have? (format/frame rate/TC type)

All the footage is coming from same source HDV…what I don’t understand is why would one sequence
translate perfectly from pp to fcp and the other sequence ( same settings ) would be so screwed up?

[Tim Kolb]

I don’t see anything in the error doc that would cause timing inaccuracies…just transitions that didn’t translate.

There is a difference someplace here…either between the two PPro sequences, or in how FCP is importing them.

How did you create each sequence in Premiere Pro?

Was the HDV material captured in PPro, or FCP? Is the material 29.97 or 25 fps (or JVC 720p59.94/50)?

If it was captured in Premiere pro, did FCP then re-wrap the media to load it?

Hi Tim

it does not make sense….import from 1 drive into PP….seq 29.97
have 4 sequences same settings but one does not work??? I also
tried putting everything on 1 track no effects no moves still this 1
sequence has wrong in and out points. What do u mean by fcp re-wrap?

[Tim Kolb]

[Lewis Stiefel] “What do u mean by fcp re-wrap?”

FCP can’t use HDV native…it has to convert the file to a .mov

So…I’m wondering if somehow Premiere Pro brought in the media native…but then FCP is having problems with/or converting the native files when you load the material into FCP?

…though if all the sequences contain the same type of media, that is probably not the issue.

Are you certain that the one sequence doesn’t have non-drop TC as opposed to drop-frame, or some other variation? There must be something…

…if you copy one of the working sequences, and use that as a test and copy/paste the media from the problem sequence into it and attempt another XML export, does that fix it?

Nice idea Tim….copied edit onto sequence that translated fine but still all footage ins and outs
r wrong. All sequences have same settings

[Tim Kolb]

Damn…I was hoping that would fix it.

Well, at this point it points to some factor in how the media is interpreted.

Are all four sequences constructed from the same kind of footage? Are the same clips that are coming through with odd in/out points in the one sequence also included on one of the other sequences?
